Researchers from the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have tuned the band gap in Black Phosphorus (BP) to form a superior conductor, by transforming the semiconducting material into a special state of matter that has anisotropic dispersion. This achievement enables greater adaptability in design and optimization of solar panels, telecommunication lasers, and other such electronic and optoelectronic devices.

World’s leading aluminum rolling and recycling company, Novelis has developed unique high-strength alloys - Novelis Advanz™ 7000-series. These alloys are mainly meant for use in safety-critical parts of vehicle structures. The key features are that they exhibit two to three times higher strength than currently available automotive aluminum, and are capable of reducing considerable amount of weight compared to existing high strength steels, thereby enabling automotive manufacturers to lighten vehicle weight further and at the same time ensure better passenger safety.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have developed a newly patented technology that can considerably increase the life of mechanical components. Metal parts integrated in industrial machines undergo significant wear and tear. In order to protect and extend the lifetime of machinery, a number of surface hardening methods has been developed such as pack-boriding, which deposits a boride layer on metal pieces during boron diffusion. Distinguished Fellow Ali Erdemir’s work has improved on this traditional boriding method, which not only takes up significant amount of time, but is also labor-intensive. To resolve this issue, the researchers developed a process for ultra-fast boriding that saves time, energy and cost, while reducing environmental concerns.
